Athena Reich, James Travis and Hayward Williams
Sirens Wild Ride featuring:Athena Reich is an anarcho-feminist cabaret-punk pop star. She combines a chilling 4-octave range voice with gorgeous piano and guitar arrangements. Think Aimee Mann, Diamanda Galas and Laurie Anderson with a theatrical twist. Humorous, thought-provoking, quirky & fun!
James Travis has been finding success as lead singer/songwriter for local alt.-country act "Jim James & The Damn Shames" but his dusty vocals and rhythmic guitar work also suit him well as a solo/acoustic act. Excellent lyricism and a fine bit of harmonica playing compliment his rustic elan vital perfectly.
Hayward Williams' live performances provide fans with solid guitar playing, soaring vocals and an assortment of interesting and sometimes ironic cover material. His original music blends strong melodies with lyrics that reflect his smart sense of humor. Built on a foundation of folk, blues and soul, his material has been compared to Ryan Adams, Jeff Buckley and Beck.
